The easy way to see what others are buying

Saturday, January 1, 2011 by Trevor Billingsley
One of my favorite pages on the Thompson Cigar site is the "Best Sellers" link.Lucky 7 Humidor

I like it because it shows me what people are interested in, and a lot of times it helps me to discover something new to try, or cause me to consider buying something that otherwise wouldn't cross my mind.

For example, that's how I discovered the Capricho Cubano cigars that I wrote about recently. I was poking around the Best Selling Boxes section, and two of the top 20 were theirs. I gave them a try, and found a really good everyday cigar to add to the arsenal.

I also found it interesting that in the Best Selling Accessories category, the top cigar humidor listed is the Lucky 7 humidor. I love this humidor, and it's at a great price, but what is most notable to be is that it holds 200-plus cigars. That has to be a good sign for the state of the cigar industry, that the most popular humidor on the site is one that holds so many cigars and not a smaller one that might indicate people were planning on cutting back.

And it's also just fun to look at what people are buying to see what I agree with and what I don't, in the same way I like looking at the TV ratings or box office numbers even if I don't tend to watch the popular shows or see a ton of movies. It's a great way for anyone to keep their finger on the pulse of what's hot in the cigar world.
